pete.young Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I realise that the bills have to be paid one way or another, but If I were someone with kids, or someone who was running a family-friendly site, I wouldn't be happy to see some of the ads that have been cropping up lately - for example ZooSK or even Match.com . It would be a big incentive for me to enable adblock, so that I didn't see any ads, including the more sensibly targetted ones. Just sayin' .

crez5150 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I thought that the ad's were driven by either websites that are from or related to cached items on your computer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 There are a few types of ads I have blocked, mainly ones that are totally irrelevant, but there shouldn't ever be 'adult' adverts. I wouldn't consider Match.com 'adult' - they have adverts on TV too. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earbrass Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 In the OP's defence, I am currently getting the following ads on my work pc basschat session: [i]Single Women on Match.com Thousands of Single Women are waiting for you. Sign up for Free! www.match.com Fixed Price Repairs Value for Money Fixed Price Repairs on All Citroën Models of Any Age. [/i] I repeat, this is my work pc, in the office, so absolutely no pron or "singles" site accessing, nor have I ever owned, or enquired about spares for, a Citroen.

BigRedX Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Surely the Match.com ads are in answer to the classic joke: What do you call a bassist without a girlfriend? Homeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 All I get is TC electronic ads and TradeTang Cheap far eastern guitars... I have yet to stray from the path of truth and light.

Although I do have some from eastcoast trains, probably because I used them to get a train to get my new bass last week, and I can tell you, never again! I also assume, being that Hartke is in my signature, is one of the driving factors behind me getting Hartke adverts - lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
